When publishing our results, I think it looks bad to show how many boats didn’t compete on a given day. I would prefer to show results for participants only. Is there a way to do this other than cutting and pasting an image of the result screen?
Thanks,

Hi
Disable “Include DNC result” under the Option fan when you are publishing.

Hi Grant
Welcome to the Sailwave User Group.
Could you explain a little more on what you would like to see.
When you publish results you publish either a Series result or Individual race results
With individual race results you can control whether the boats that DNC are published or not in the option screen
see the screen shot below
If you are talking about the Series results then everyone taking part in the series needs to be shown for it to make sense.
If you are talking about excluded competitors then if you turn off the display of them on the screen this also stops them being published

Jon,
Our fleet sails 3-5 races/day, with 5 days of racing making up what we call a series (for example we just completed our Fall Series – 24 races over 5 separate days of racing. I post a day of racing in Sailwave as a series, rather than single races. The show DNC box is not checked. At times I have captured the screen shot, opened in photoshop, cut out the DNC boats for the day, and published that. Our new score keeper isn’t going to do this.
Grant
From my perspective, the second set of results (altered in photoshop) emphasizes participation, while the first set exposes moderate lack of participation. We would like to publish these results for our fleet, but also on our club weekly e-newsletter.

Hi Grant,
As you are using High point scoring you could temporarily exclude them this would be very easy and quick
Then hide the excluded competitors and publish
Simply double click in the exclude column for those where the total is 0
You could also do this programmatically with the Tools - Set competitor field
Then to clear them select all competitors and set a value of 0 in the exclude
Does that work for you?

Jon,
Thanks for your response. Yes, but the fleet just elected to go back to low point scoring.
Can DNC be selected for exclusion?

Hi Grant,
For low point scoring.
You could do exactly the same as I suggested in the previous post except it is going to be a little more complicated.
Assuming you are scoring DNC as number is series + 1.
Firstly any DNC’s will affect the points for other scores such as DNF, RET, OCS so not publishing them will be confusing.
After scoring you can mark the ones you wish to omit as Excluded and then hide them, then publish. Then unhide them and remove the excludes so that they are all visible
Note you must not score/rescore with them excluded as this will give incorrect results.
